Pros

The pay, The horizontal co-workers, The benefits if you use them, Incentive pay, if you can ever get it, Weekends off, The life lessons learned.(get back in school, never work hard labor for a living). The pay is tough to put as a pro, because it isn't worth the extent of work that you preform

Cons

No flexibility, Negative atmosphere, Standards are next to impossible to meet, Turn-over rate is HUGE, Long hours(4:30-1:30), HOT(+100 degrees), Supervisors Treat you as a number and expendable. I highly do not recommend e er working in break stock. It is horrible. HORRIBLE. Turn over rate is average of 5 months in that department, on 2nd shift. However, the other departments probably aren't as bad. It's still super hot and there is no air conditioning. Look, I wasn't a bad worker, i was one of the fastest and best, and my opinion isn't the odd one out of the bunch.

Pros

There are not too many.

Cons

Long hours; indefinite out times; no flexibility; poor communication; lack of respect for warehouse worker is built into the culture; toxic environment with petty politics and high school type drama; rules applied based on convenience and like ability and not job performance; office management is out of touch with the warehouse environment and work processes, this means implanted solutions are usually underwhelming and off track; continued feedback is requested and given but those issues are ignored over and over. Responses are band aids at best and flagrant disregard is more likely. No planning for busy season- WHERE IS THE BENCHMARKING?!; understaffed, under resourced, and over managed (with about 3 more layers of middle management than is needed). The environment is dirty, not temp controlled, warehouse staff is expected to housekeep in addition to the actual job. This job is incentive based and NOTHING is valued but faster- until you make a mistake and then you’re reminded about safety and quality.
